The 15-year-old’s first-ever cover story features 20 pages celebrating teen style. And who better to be the face of it than the fresh-faced offspring of fashion royalty?

According to the magazine’s Editor-in-Chief, Ben Reardon, Brooklyn — who sports floppy hair similar to his soccer star Dad’s — was a dream to work with.
He described the teen as “relaxed” and “diligent” as he posed for photographer Alasdair McLellan in clothing from designers like Ralph Lauren, Saint Laurent and Supreme.

“Brooklyn was a true professional and had a keen eye in the styling process,” Reardon said in a statement.

“It is clear that he is becoming a credit to the family name, not only possibly the most famous in the world but one with a wealth of heavyweight fashion influence behind it.”

In one shot, the edgy teen seems to contemplate studies with a pen hanging out of his mouth, while in another, oversize earphones hang around Brooklyn’s neck as he kicks back on posters of Eminem and Ewan McGregor as Obi Wan Kenobi.

The sporty teen looks most like his athletic father in a close-up where he gazes at the camera lens, donning a sleeveless striped tee.

The only thing missing is Dad’s signature tattoos — which is a good thing, if Dad has anything to say about it.

How ridiculous…this kid is only in the position he’s in because of his parents, just like Will Smith’s & Madonna’s kids.

This child should be in school you know that 15,000 quid a term school he goes to , his parents are truly the most self-absorbed a holes out there and apparently they want their children to be just like them

Brooklyn is a teenager and can find and read the cruel things people write and say about his family. Please be kind- you don’t know them AT ALL! Know matter what he and his siblings do, people will accuse them of cashing in on their name or their parents’ contacts… He’s grown up with money- maybe he’ll be one of the lucky ones that works and contributes. I would have loved to have the opportunities those kids do!

Sapphire

Let’s not judge this young man. I would have given anything to be in the position this kid has in life. I grew up poor and lived in a condemned house wearing second hand clothes. It’s not his fault his parents are who they are. I don’t see anything wrong with parents giving their kids privileges and advantages in life. If only all parents could do the same, but most cannot. He’s a very lucky young man and I hope that he’s grateful and humble for everything he’s been given in this life.

congratulations Brooklyn. You appear to be a good, a humble kid. Stay that way and you will go far. Keep up the handsome good job.

Paris
on April 1st, 2014

His name and his parents give him a claim for the spotlight on a magazine and Im sure he could master this “modelling” bit once he’s hit more of a physical maturity, atm he just looks like an average kid trying to look liker a serious model… honestly, he needs time to grow up before being splashed across magazine covers. That’s my constructive criticism.

James kenneth Terry

This child is adorable and should take advantage of all of the blessings that he may not otherwise have outside a public life. No judgement on children. Hope he enjoys every minute of this. I am sure his parents are proud as they should be. Being famous and wealthy does not mean you do not deserve love, admiration and encouragement. Especially when it comes to a child.

Ginger

Marky

Brooklyn is very handsome, and won’t be able to maintain a career unless he has the talent and the looks, so what’s the problem with all the nasty comments? Easy to see where kids learn to bully; you people must be working overtime to teach them. The Beckham boys have never gotten in trouble, always seem to be well dressed, well-behaved, and the only thing you can say about him is that his parents may have helped him get this job??

If your child wanted to do something special, you would bust your butt to see that it happened…I see it all the time; parents who spend money to give their children lessons, start them in cheerleading when they are 3, start them in sports when they are 4, what’s the difference? These parents may, or may not, have pulled a string or 2 to get him this modeling job, but if he doesn’t carry his weight on the job, there won’t be more jobs.

Sheesh, some of you sound so small and petty.

I think he looks great. He’s growing into a real heartbreaker.

And if I was a parent who could afford for my children the opportunities & experiences his parents can afford for him, do you think I would not? God forbid his parents help him pursue what could possibly be a dream of his. Some of these people are acting like they wouldn’t do the same. Please.

I really like these shots. So his parents are famous, that’s not really a crime or something he asked for. Regardless of his connections I think the final results, the photos themselves, are quite nice. Had I seen his pictures in a magazine without knowing he was a Beckham I wouldn’t have stopped in my tracks and thought that he was out of place. On the contrary, he has the model look.

Anyone who called him ugly is an ass! Is he handsome, maybe not. Is he cute, you bet! And if he looks surly or isn’t smiling, blame the photographer and the editor! Just because you may not like the parents you don’t take it out on the kid! Grow up…

Jealously, lack of self respect, unfulfilled dreams, envy……………….. all showing their marks in some of these harsh comments. Don’t we wish we were the parents, in any area of life, that would ensure that our children’s lives are better than ours, that we give them a great head start and they pick up from there………………..! Instead of being so crass, lets pick ourselves up and make it happen for our offspring. Way to go Beckham’s, Jolie’s, etc.

The Beckhams exploiting their kids… Pimp parents… And he is not even pretty.

Wow these comments are just sad. This is a 15yr old…still a child. Whether or not YOU find him attractive is irrelevant but calling a child ugly and sour face is crazy. Lets see what your kids look like. Of course he got the cover as a push from his parents spotlight but who wouldnt accept it? Hes a cutie and has the look. He looks to be enjoying it and hes not YOUR kid to have an opinion about so all you Petty Bettys and Negative Nancys have a seat. Took more effort to call this child names than it did to ignore the post if you didnt agree.

You all are killing me with these hateful comments. There are plenty of kids/teens modeling but bc his parents are rich he shouldn’t be able to model. All saying “Average” looking, most are “Average” looking. My son is 14 and he loves modeling. I didn’t push it on him, but he ask could he model. Who doesn’t support their children’s aspiration. Different people parent differently but it doesn’t mean any one way is better than the next (unless child endangerment). Positive People = Positive Energy

Alli

Brooklyn is absolutely adorable…sure to be a fine looking man! Congrats!

For all you sour lemons, any child model is in the position “because of his parents”…Because the parents choose to dedicate time to their child’s hobby (or passion) and do the leg work that makes modeling possible. Was that legwork easier for Brooklyn Bekham’s parents? Probably…but not because they are entitled but b/c they already worked their butts off for years developing those contacts! Get over yourself, people! Be happy for someone else’s good fortune!

stacylp75

Y’all are killing me. Are you that unhappy in your life that you go in on a kid? There are plenty of kid/teen models but bc his parents are famous he’s not suppose to model? GTFOH

Who doesn’t support their children’s aspirations? My son is 14 and ask to model so that’s what he does. For all saying he is “Average” looking, most models are. Just bc people parent differently doesn’t make one way better than the other (unless child endangerment).

I never realized there are so many negative/unhappy people until I get on blogs and read all the hateful stuff. Positive People = Positive Energy

Yuk! Sorry Beckham’s, your kid is not cute and shouldn’t be modeling. Why the serious frown, can’t the freckle faced kid smile? Oh wait, thats right his Mother is “Vicky” Beckham and she doesn’t know how to smile either. Spoiled Brat.

He wont go far.. I would toss the magazine I see him “modeling” on.

Teri
on April 2nd, 2014

First off, I’m going to be honest, he looks nothing like Beckham and looks so much like mom.

Secondly, having a 15 year old trying to look sexy and mysterious looks ridiculous to me. How about a big wide smile to show a kid’s true beauty. What is with the pen hanging from his mouth…it seems like of subliminally sexual again. Hate the pics, not the kid. Don’t know the kid and hope the parents are bringing him up well.

I liked Beckham’s response on tattoos. I have them and I agree…everyone and their dog has them now…nothing unique about them and I think a nice clean body is just as beautiful if not more so these days. Glad Becks doesn’t want his kids to be mini clones of him. Cheers.

I have never seen so many hateful people!!! He is 15 years old!!! He is old enough to make his own choices…perhaps he decided to model on his own, without parental interference. I don’t understand why certain individuals have nothing positive to say, yet they take the time to read the entire article and then take the time to comment on the article, but with nothing but hateful comments. It’s fine to not like him, and it’s fine to express your opinion, but to be downright hateful and rude is not cool!!!

He’s lucky to have the chance to do this. If this is an opportunity he wanted to take, then good for him! So what if his parents are who they are and perhaps they did get him this opportunity. I’m sure a lot of parents out there wish they could give their children all sorts of opportunities but can’t due to all sorts of circumstances. Nobody’s fault.

I just find it refreshing to see a teenager who you don’t hear about doing all sorts of wild negative things. I don’t find it fair to say bad things about a young boy we know nothing about apart from who his parents are. Just so long as he stays grounded and doesn’t get in the media for the wrong reasons, let him do what he wants to do.

Really is it any wonder the world is such a horrible place, especially if the people commenting here are a cross section? What a bunch of nasty, spiteful and jealous people you are. Big deal if his parents are rich – get over it. Big deal if you think he is an ugly kid – your opinion matters little to him I’m sure. I can just imagine the outcry if one of your ‘treasures’ were bullied….yet here you are publicly slamming a 15 year old for his looks. Stupid, pathetic people. What I find so disturbing is how many of you are mothers – what disgusting examples you are setting to your own children on how to respect other people. Shame on you.
